Abstract

The periapical tissue homeostasis can be seen violated by different process one of them is the apical periodontitis,
and its most common etiology are the bacterias. Diagnostic techniques such as immunohistochemistry and
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) allow a better understanding of the apical periodontitis. Through these
techniques it has been possible to isolate viral DNA and RNA (viral transcripts) in periapical lesions, which
apparently have synergistic effect with bacterias. This review of literature seeks to reinforce a new perspective of
the apical periodontitis.
